X-Men: First Class (2011)
3.5/5
Loved the James Bond feel to the movie, and was pleasantly surprised altogether. Music was by one of Zimmer's pupils, awesome job. Sadly, no teaser at the end.

By far one of my favorite movies EVER. Amazing story-telling, fantastic characters, and a great Henry Fonda.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's...
2/5
One good special effect (when they turn the ship upside down to be in a new world), otherwise very boring. Pirate topic obviously not totally my thing, but still I love the music.

The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of...
3/5
In light of the fact that the fourth installment just made it to the cinemas we decided to give Pirates a try. I was somewhat surprised to find that I actually enjoyed various parts of the movie. Music was great.

Not my favorite animated movie ever, but 1-2 laughs and a couple of cute moments.

The Craigslist Killer (TV 2011)
0.5/5
I seriously don't understand why I watch some of these movies. This was truly tragically bad, a little bit better than that considering it was made for TV.

Thor (2011)
3/5
Seriously, I am not one for overly ripped bodies or that semi-long hair in men, BUT I was all over Chris Hemsworth. Wholly entertained as always with the Marvel-movies, even if I much prefer X-men or Ironman. Loved Anthony Hopkins, less convinced by Natalie Portman. And always love the Teaser at the end of the movie which very few people stay for.

Fair Game (2010)

Incredible that this could have happened in the US. It's been a while since I saw Sean Penn and I quite enjoyed his performance.

Peter Weir did an excellent job on this one... unbelievable story, very very good casting (although I think I like most everything Ed Harris does, and Jim Sturgess is a favorite since that Beatles-movie).

It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010)
4/5
Hadn't heard anything about this movie and really liked it. Wonderful script, a cast that fit together well, some very odd characters, perfect choice of songs.

Stone (2010)
2.5/5
Good acting by Robert de Niro and Edward Norton, but altogether slightly boring and dull movie. Maybe I did not understand it?

Limitless (2011)
3/5
This was definitely a dumb movie, but rather entertaining at that. If you are willing to question nothing and simply enjoy the ride, this one is right. Oh, and I probably would take that pill as well...

2011-04-09 23:13
I feel like I need to watch this movie over and over to grasp the full extent of what is going on. An absolute must-see, if only to discuss afterwards. Lastly, I like Matt Damon as a speaker.

I truly thought this movie would be far less amusing than it ended up being.

2011-03-28 21:14
The Next Three Days (2010)
3/5
Not my favorite Haggis-movie, but quite good. I don't think I have ever seen Crowe smile, but he certainly builds the suspense well.

2011-03-23 14:08
I Am Number Four (2011)
0.5/5
We went to see this movie because we had not heard anything about it. This movie was so bad it was almost funny. Totally pathetic, utterly pointless. And worst of all: It looks like the concept is to make a sequel.

Tangled (2010)

seemed to me like they were copying parts from Arielle and Co., not very unique.

How Do You Know (2010)
0.5/5
This was just so bad we had to turn it off after about half of the movie. Hated doing that, but the movie was going nowhere.

Michael Jordan to the Max (2000)
2.5/5
It was fun seeing the old footage, but the movie lacked any depth and didn't convince in any way.
0.3 -
2011-03-12 23:45
Loved the camera work. Good performances by Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell, and Juliette Lewis always a good fit for anything surrounding white trash. Movie managed to stay suspenseful until the end.

2011-03-12 18:40
Hereafter (2010)
2.5/5
I would give it a worse rating considering Clint's last job was "Gran Torino" (which I thought was great), but all in all this was just ok. Special effects were awful (then again it is hard to "do" a tsunami wave), and the characters seemed a bit shallow in part.
0.3 -
2011-03-05 00:01
Kokowääh (2011)
2.5/5
I don't mind the fact that Till Schweiger ALWAYS plays precisely the same character. This was however a rather dull movie with zero point that had no flow in any kind of obvious direction.

Everything about this movie was pretty stupid, EXCEPT for the soundtrack and the special effects which I loved.

Black Swan (2010)
3.5/5
Don't get me wrong, I liked this movie. Actors did an excellent job and I like Aronofsky's style. To me however, this seemed like cinematic case study of schizophrenia (typical story that will win an oscar) and as such I wasn't blown away by the whole film at all.

Small World (2010)
3.5/5
C'était super. I loved the book, loved the movie just a little less than the book, and I had forgotten, what an excellent actor monsieur Depardieu is. Also: Maria Lara Alexander as une very stylish française.

Very little development of characters and altogether lame, with the ending being super-lame. I would only recommend this movie to absolute die-hard Patterson lovers (which -for the record- I am not), otherwise a waste of time.

Splice (2009)
1.5/5
Adrien Brody does do a variety of various genres... kudos for that. A couple of interesting themes in the movie, but all in all too predictable, a bit odd. Sci-Fi mixes with Horror, didn't do it for me this time.

The Town (2010)
4/5
One of the better movies this year, in my opinion. This movie had me on my toes... "Heat" is still better, but this is a good bankrobber-them movie.

Grown Ups (2010)
2.5/5
Considering I thought I would hate this movie, I laughed quite a bit. Senseless entertainment, but comical at times. Seems like the protagonists really had fun making the movie.

I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)
3/5
Some unexpected twists and turns I found this movie to be slightly long-winded at the start. Finding out in the end that it is based on a true story made it so much better...

Kick-Ass (2010)

Crazy Heart (2009)
3.5/5
Perfect role for Jeff Bridges... and surprisingly good Colin Farrell (interesting choice of the casting director). I like country music, that helped to like the movie, but certainly appreciated the fact that all actors did their own singing.

2010-07-22 22:59
The Karate Kid (2010)
2.5/5
Slightly long-winded start, but after it gets rolling quite ok. Good music and some decent fight scenes, not a bad remake.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)
2/5
Don't get me wrong, this is not a good movie. Considering it was based on a video game it could have been worse. And I loved the music (Harry Gregson-Williams).

Robin Hood (2010)

Just another Robin Hood, with an ending that felt like the makers are one second away from green-lighting a sequel.

Die schwache Version des koksenden Händlers "Lord of War" in verwässerter Version von "Training Day". Ziemlich lahm.

Habe schon schlechtere Sequels gesehen, aber dieser entging meiner Meinung nur ganz knapp dem Prädikat langweilig. Und das eher, weil ich Downey Junior recht passend finde in der Rolle des Tony Stark und Don Cheadle als Schauspieler mag.

Green Zone (2010)

Vermarktet als ein weiterer "Bourne"-Film hatte ich etwas ganz anderes erwartet und war etwas enttäuscht, obschon der Film per se ganz in Ordnung war. Highlight: Die daraus gewonnene Message.

Excellent Cinematography. Somehow a bit too easy that in the end the whole plot is explained by an easy google search, and some of the accents were a bit strange, but I loved this movie all the way.

Shutter Island (2009)
3.5/5
Ich bin zwar überhaupt kein Fan von Scorsese-Filmen, aber diesen fand ich super. Tolle schauspielerische Leistungen, perfekt dazupassende Musik, interessante Geschichte. Die Spannung blieb bis zur letzten Minute erhalten... und das Rätsel darüber hinaus!

The Princess and the Frog (2009)
2.5/5
Schon lange keinen Film von Disney gesehen. Dieser war ganz süss, die Lieder nett, das es in New Orleans spielt super (ich wurde sehr, sehr hungrig während ich diesen Film schaute), ABER der gute Humor (à là Aladdin) fehlte einfach.

Vielleicht waren meine Erwartungen dermassen tief, das es nur gut kommen konnte, aber trotz miserablem Plot und etlichen Plotholes fand ich diesen Film sogar noch etwas unterhaltsam. Könnte jedenfalls schlimmer sein.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Precious: Based on the Novel...
3/5
Unglaublich gute schauspielerische Leistungen von Newcomerin Gabourey Sidibe, Mo'nique, und -ganz überraschend- Mariah Carey. Das grosse Thema des Films (Inzest) wird nicht mit Samthandschuhen behandelt, der Film beeindruckt durch seine Ehrlichkeit und Direktheit.

The Lovely Bones (2009)

Man fühlt sich etwas in einem Traum... und dann geht es fast ein bisschen zu lang so weiter, aber trotzdem schön. Tolle schauspielerische Leistungen, soweit ich mich erinnern kann entspricht es nur sehr lose dem Buch, aber sehenswert.

Recently watched it once again and really enjoyed it. Tom Cruise doesn't get any better than this, and all the other "stories-come-together" movies simply pale in comparison.

The Blind Side (2009)

Very, very feel-good movie, Sandra Bullock's excellent performance kind of reminded me of Julia Roberts in "Erin Brockovich", same type of character. And the "based on a true story" is always my kind of thing.

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)
3/5
Die Verfilmung eines meiner Lieblingsbücher, und Filme können bekanntlich nie Ihren literarischen Vorlagen gerecht werden. Nichts desto trotz fand ich den Film rührend, stellenweise etwas gar kitschig... und leider denke ich jedes Mal an einen israelischen Hulk der Rache übt wenn ich Eric Bana sehe, aber sonst alles gut.

Invictus (2009)
3/5
An inspiring story I had not yet heard... astounding what Nelson Mandela was able to do. Morgan Freeman (the man must have played just about every character under the blue moon by now) did a good job, a hard job. I wasn't quite able to get into his voice, though.

It's Complicated (2009)
2.5/5
Easy entertainment: I just really like Meryl Streep, and enjoyed a few laughs. For some reason I find that Steve Martin always looks like he has far too much makeup on, but all in all this movie inspired me to learn how to make chocolate croissants, so that is something.

The Box (2009)
2.5/5
Quite liked the first half of this movie, during which I thought that director Richard Kelly (who incidentally wrote Donnie Darko) built up tension in a very twilight zone way without all that many special effects. The overall concept of the movie (I don't want to give away anything) was interesting as well, but from the second half onwards it kind of went downhill for me.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)
3.5/5
Terry Gilliam's latest movie, which I didn't quite understand, but I enjoyed the colorful, quirky ride in different worlds. And the Faustian element indicated to me, that it wasn't just all about the colors...

Bright Star (2009)

Jane Campion's latest piece, seemed a bit too drawn out at times, even for me.
